NEW at The Crafty Crab Cove!

Okay… I think I may have found my newest obsession. 😂

Introducing our 3D Printed Hand Fans!

These lightweight little fans are easy to hold with the built-in ring handle, actually move a nice amount of air, and are small enough to tuck into a purse or bag.

Perfect for:
Crab-loving outings
Warm days
Church
Craft shows & events
Hot flashes
Or anytime you just need a little breeze!

The first crab designs are finished and will be listed in the shop TODAY!

And this is only the beginning... I already have ideas for more crab designs, faith-based fans, seasonal designs, funny sayings, and more.

Which one would you carry?

From our cove to your home.

Halloween Crabitat Grab Boxes!

I’ve been working on some new Halloween goodies for the crabbies, and I decided to put together a fun little themed Grab Box!
Each 5-piece Halloween Crabitat Grab Box will include:
• 1 Halloween-themed feeding dish
• 1 handmade macramé climbing/enrichment toy
• 1 handmade scrubby-yarn hammock/climbing piece
• 1 sample-size bag of hermit crab treats
• 1 mini dish scrubby for cleaning removable food dishes
Exact colors and designs may vary, so there’s still a little surprise when you open your box...but you’ll know exactly what types of goodies you’re getting!

$21.99 + shipping

I’m starting with a limited number while I see how everyone likes them. If these go over well, I already have ideas for more themed boxes!

Will get them listed today or if you don't do Etsy, message me (I can accept cash app, paypal and venmo)

Shop Hermit Crabs by TheCraftyCrabCove located in Galax, Virginia.

FROM THE DESK OF BUBBLES
Director of Unsolicited Supervision

Monday, September 14

Good morning, Cove residents.

After a thorough review of this past week, I have several important matters to report:

Management has begun work on new climbing and enrichment ideas involving macramé and something called “scrubby yarn.” I have not personally approved these materials yet, but I fully intend to supervise every knot.

One macramé climbing piece is currently under construction. Completion has been requested. Whether management listens to me remains to be seen.

Additional supplies have mysteriously entered the building. Management claims these are “for product testing.” I call this what it is: another excuse to make things.

My weekly report was nearly forgotten AGAIN. I would like it officially noted that the Director of Unsolicited Supervision should not be expected to remind management to complete her own paperwork.

For this week, I will be monitoring all new enrichment prototypes, inspecting anything that looks remotely interesting, and maintaining my usual position of authority over The Crafty Crab Cove.

Overall Cove Status:
Creative chaos continues.
New ideas are brewing.
Management remains under supervision.

Until next Monday...
Bubbles

Working really hard to get The Crafty Crab Cove going again....but I do have a question for all the crab parents. Would you all rather see more things for crabs (climbing toys, dishes, etc) or more things for you (collectibles, ornaments, etc.)?

Leave a 🦀 for stuff for crabs or ❤️ for crab parents.

Thank you in advance for your feedback!

Yesterday marked 2 years since The Crafty Crab Cove opened on Etsy!

We’ve changed, grown, taken breaks, and come back with new ideas...and I’m excited to see what year three brings!

Help us shape the next chapter of The Crafty Crab Cove!

As many of you know, several of the products you loved from TCCC have found a new home at our sister shop, Moonshell Keep. That means we're getting the Cove stocked back up and figuring out what we want this next chapter to look like...and I'd love YOUR help!

If you could add anything to The Crafty Crab Cove, what would you want to see?

Fun things for crab parents?
Seasonal or holiday goodies?
Hermit crab gifts and home décor?
Personalized items?
Something completely different that you haven't seen anywhere else?

Don't worry about whether you think I can make it...throw your ideas at me! 😂 I work with several different types of crafts, and sometimes one little suggestion can spark a completely different idea.

So tell me: What would make you stop scrolling and say, “Okay... I NEED that!”?

Drop your ideas below. Even the weird ones. Especially the weird ones. 😂

From our Cove to your home,

Been working on some cute Halloween and fall cuties freebies. Each seasonal ones is only available for a limited time

Ok ya'll...I'm too excited about these freebies I've designed and printed!!! Every order will include my "Original Cutie" collectible (pictured). I'm also very excited because I have created seasonal ones (fall, Halloween, Christmas, etc.).

The seasonal ones will be available as a freebie in my upcoming seasonal boxes. I hope to have the first fall box and collectible available in the shop this week.
